The term insomnia is used in a number of different ways
within the popular press and medical literature. Most often, insomnia is defined as a
sleeping disorder in which the affected person is unable to sleep or stay
asleep peacefully through the night (even though there is an opportunity to
sleep well). In most cases, it is a temporary condition which affects almost
every individual at some point in life, but for some people this can be a
chronic and serious problem, which may require treatment. Healthcare providers
recommend that an average adult needs 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep each
night; however, this number can vary from person to person. People suffering
from chronic insomnia experience loss of productivity, constant feeling of
tiredness, negative changes in mood and concentration. There are many other
related complaints that could pose a negative impact on someone’s day-to-day
activities. Besides influencing your mood and energy levels, poorly managed
insomnia can potentially aggravate the risk of serious health complications.
Our sleep cycle is sensitive to our physical and mental stress levels. Being
stressed about school, exams, work or family keeps your mind active and can
bring about difficulty in sleeping. Likewise, certain life events or even
ailments can further deteriorate your sleep cycle. Untreated or poorly managed
insomnia can lead to a wide range of complications.
